If you are a delicate flower who can start drama, but can't take it when directed back at you, this is NOT the site for you!! TURN BACK NOW!!! DO NOT ENTER!!!!! ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! Tell your "JAG" lawyer to kiss my ass!!! Stefaniey, this means YOU!!!!

Ohmygosh, ohmygosh, ohmygosh.....a BEHBAY!!!!! can't wait!!!

I really wasn't planning on attending this year because I have a lot of wildlife conferences to attend and to keep my license, I have to have continuing education, but, but, but, I would miss you guys too much and, if I can only choose one, it's GOTTA be SGGA, right?!?!?!

Well, last year was actually further than Quincy and me, Jen, and Laura made it in one piece. I think it was around 16 hours each way. We were slightly delirious but made it there and back. If I have the time off and money I'm down to take turns driving. I promise I'll get some sleep before I drive, not drink so much the night before, and NOT take that damn 5 Hour Energy Crap again. YUCK!!!

OMG How could I forget Laura??? Shame on me! :oops: Four peeps instead of 3 just makes things even cheaper! I got the gas and room all figured up already, and there's plenty of room in the Caddy for 4 of us and all of our junk. Lemme see what kind of twists my finances and time off situation take in the next couple months before I commit for sure. I'm not altogether positive it will all fall together, but I'm seriously keeping my fingers crossed!

I'm thinking of bunking with kris and chelsea and patty. That way it's only one baby room to monitor still trying to work details out for some one who goes to bed early to take an adjoining room so we can actually hang out a bit after dark. Cuz I'm not leaving Adri alone in a room baby monitor or not lol.

I really would have died to room with ya laurie :( its more logical this way all the baby stuff in one room.

Can we change hotel lol this one sucks! No adjoiniing rooms and the indoor hang out area with tables and chairs is in the middle of hotel and outdoors they have a few takes and chairs in the front of the building

There really isn't anywhere to just hang out in this hotel. Even outside there is only the parking lot surrounded by businesses on all sides. We may be able to hang out in the pool area but I'm not sure it will be big enough for all of us. I'm sure we'll figure something out though.

I know T but there will be a ton of people there to help you out. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with Bentley at night if I'm going to be drinking. Hopefully by then my mom will be comfortable keeping him all night.

I think it was chosen because the SGGA was handed over to Elena but she couldn't find any hotels, she's friends with Chris and of course Chris has pull with this hotel so they made it work.

I dont need help during the day or anything :) Its the sleeping situation that has my panties in a knot. It would have been nice if we had a situation like last time so I could get a room really close to the main hang out spot so I could be closer. I am just concerned about at night because I cant leave her alone in the room. The only issue I have is at night with making sure someone is in the room with her :)

That sounds like a plan, actually - is anyone's teenager (or adult) friend or family member certified in CPR and maybe a certified babysitter who would be willing to come along and watch kids from time to time for the parents? I mean, not something SGGA would be "providing" - perhaps someone who could come along and those who want to "use their services" could pay them just like they would a babysitter "back home"? Perhaps even a "team" of a few people?

That would be awesome! I have to leave Michael home with George the whole time - and that worries me (lol) - but if I could hire a sitter while I'm busy I'd consider bringing him along :-)

I think that's a fabulous idea. Maybe the hotel can even recommend someone locally? You can check with local daycares and see if any of their care providers would be willing to provide babysitting services that weekend. Someone who is used to children and probably already certified.
